Evaluation Q6

What have you learnt about technologies from the process of constructing this product? 
Duing the production of our product, I spent around half an hour with the camera, so I figured out how to work it properly. I managed to get my head around the focus on the camera, so I could get it in and out of focus at will. The camera was tricky to work out because it has a lot of buttons, but I was able to find out how to adjust the white balance on it, so I used it in the darker scenes in our film. We also used the tripod in a lot of scenes, so we were able to use it wisely and get some effective shots in our clip. 
I also learnt how to use adobe premiere pro during the production of our clip, and I used it to piece the clips together, and use a variety of editing techniques. One of our scenes had to be filmed on a different day because it was a poor quality, but when we filmed it again, it was lighter outside then when we filmed it before. I had to adjust the brightness and contrast of the scene to fit the other clips. I also added transitions into our products such as the fading in and out of some shots, which I believe made our clip more eerie and added suspense. Furthermore, we added the titles on adobe premiere pro, and although they use a simple, basic font, I believe they add to the tension in the clip and make it more unpredictable. Also, other horror thrillers such as 'The Silence of the Lambs' use simple titles to add emphasis to the killer, and make them seem more deranged. In addition, I used fireworks to create the 'Loading Productions' logo at the start of the clip, and I believe the states used give a flow to the logo, and it is effective.
